Supporting acting nominees are great because they range from a mind blowing, one or two scene performance (Ruby Dee) to a strong acting presence throughout the whole film (Amy Ryan, Tilda Swinton). This year there is really anyone's game, as there are five fantastic actresses nominated. The nominees are:
Cate Blanchett in I'm Not There
Ruby Dee in American Gangster
Saoirse Ronan in Atonement
Amy Ryan in Gone Baby Gone
Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton
Prediction
Cate Blanchett.

Congrats AGAIN to Ms. Angelina Jolie for yet another award nomination. This one really matters, considering her peers will decide.

I saw this movie in theaters two weekends ago, and then again during my Best Picture nominee day yesterday.
Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is a fixer for a prestigious law firm who is sent to clean up a mess with one of it’s largest clients and longest running cases, U North. The firm’s leading attorney has recently lost his mind and has started to do rather crazy things, but Clayton starts to wonder how far gone he really is as he learns more about the case and which side he’s on.

Vanity Fair canceled their Oscar party a month ago. This was a huge deal in Hollywood, as that party was THE party of the Oscars. It was very “seen and be seen.” Say that in a snooty voice and you get the picture.

You're the stylist. Dress your favorite nominee in both categories to look stunning on the red carpet and hold that coveted little golden man! Keep in mind their past red carpet looks that show off their style.

I saw this one in theaters just after I read the book. It compares pretty well; the book is slightly more convoluted with some more plot twists, but as far as condensing it into two hours, Affleck and Stockard adapted Dennis Lehane’s novel nicely.
Casey Affleck plays Patrick Kenzie, a private investigator that, along with his partner Angie Genarro (Michelle Monaghan), is investigating a missing child case in Boston.

Buzz posted the Oscar noms, which were announced this morning, but I figured I'd repost them here, for sake of conversation.
I am SO happy about some of these nods, especially:
Javier Bardem for supporting actor - TOTALLY deserves it and will probably win
Ellen Page for lead actress - she probably won't win but yay for her anyway
Juno for best picture - again, it's the underdog and probably won't win, but what an achievement
"Falling Slowly" from Once for best song - I really, really hope this wins over the songs from Enchantment.
Diablo Cody for the Juno screenplay - I think she's going to win for best original.
